Of the visitors to Its portal. Miss Lolita

cious and excellent serio-oOmique, will
make her advent, and Professor Berna-
bel Gauna and his two clever daug

years, will give some wonderful exhibit
lions of tTapeZe work. The Dutch Men
dels will present their rOllioking enter
tainment ."FOr America" Nellie Woods
and Clara Stanley, the charming singers
and dancers, will Introduce new songs, the
Heely Brothers Will repeat their success
full sketch "AnorigiEers,' and +. Heely
will exhibit his powers MS a lightning
caTtOOnist. In addition TO this, the COM
pany will play the delightful petite
comedy, "Trix." and the Iaughabie ab-
surdity, midnight Invaders" The pro-
gramme is 3 rong enough to attract and
good enough TO please.

HOW IT AFFECTS THEATRICAL COMPANIES.
The interstate commerce bill is likely
to affect travelling companies in a seri
Gus way II Its provisions are carried out
in the spirit Of the law. Ben Stern, the
experienced manager, says that no large
travelling company can afford to pay
more than 2 cents mile, owing to the
big jumps they are obliged to make,
even II they can afford that rate.
In addition to this the change of sleep
ers at the end ofeach road, sometimes In
the middle of the night, will affect the
actors badly, destroying the only chance
that they have Of getting rest. The
result will be that many of the attract
tions that would otherwise come to
Texas will be barred out OF the state by
high rates and practical inconvenience
OF travel. The bill, however, does not
prescribe the rate OF fares. Ii only pro-
hibits excessive charge for a short run
as compared with long run, and ex-
pect 10 see greater cutting than ever,
especially on weak or unpopular roads,
which will force the large roads to fol-
low suit.

The dramatic company of the Belk-
nap Rifles will repeat their successful
performance of Damon and Pythias, at

draw large houses as the p rfOrmance

On Saturday afternoon Mr.. John
Hardin rode up to the Government
building, got off his horse, hitched
him to the iron drinking fountain
and gas lamp sitting on the pave
ment, and went into the post-of-
fee. The animal became fright
ened and pulled back, overturning
the fountain and breaking the top
off. So much for the carelessness
Of some one in having this expen-
sive ornament sitting there without
being fastened to the pavement.
1t will cost about $50 to repair
the damage, which Mr.. Hardin
has offered to pay.

goth, Mr.. James Heeney, the

damaged the sight that he has been

He went to Louisville Tuesday to
consult DIR. Reynolds, the Louis

sight was entirely destroyed in
that eye, and he might possibly
lose the other.

What It Costs to Kaisa a Boy

MY father never did anything for
me-" recently remarked a young man
who few weeks ago finished his
school life, and is now seeking a good
business opening. Judging by the
words and the complaining tone in
which they were uttered, the member
OF the fir who heard them is prone to
believe that the young msn's idea of
"doing something" is an outright gift
OF $1,000 in lump, or the purchase
OF partnership in an established con-
Germ. This yourg man, to the knowl-
edge OF the writer, has never done one
months actual work tor others in his
entire life. His life has been passed in
the pleasant pistimes of the home
circle. in reading, study, hunting, fish
ing, ball playing, yachting and other
employments not particularly benefi
cial to others. He is type of that
class of boys whose parents are sufIi-
ciently well to-do to keep servants to
attend the household drudgery, and
whose fathers follow vocations in
which no use can be made of the boys
spare hours. Like most boys of his
class, he looks upon his board and
clothes for twenty years, t ogether with
his pony, jewelry, bicycle, etc, as
matters of course. The writer, while
the complaining remark was still ring
ing in his ears, had the curiosity to
make conservative compilation OF
what it costs to raise an ordinary boy
for the first twenty years OF his life,
and here it is:
500 per year for the first five years,
$500.
$3.50 per year for the second five
years, $3.50.
S2e0 per year for the third five
years, 81 600,
$500 per year for the next three
years. 5000.
$500 per year ter the next two years,
81, 900. Total, 81, $50.
Yes, this is a moderate estimate of
the financial balance against the boy
who complains that his father has
never done anything for him.

NOTED BY THE WAY.

If you want large roots, you must
give them large space to grow in.
1t is not too late yet to NOW the tall
weeds in the fence corners, and to pull
them out of the corn and potatoes.
Don't be too late in starting in on
extra feed for the cows. The fact is
that COWS at pasture need little grain
all along, no matter how good the pas
ture is.
Training and feeding, we fully be.
lieve, may be made valuable means
of developing the capabilities Of cows,
and preliminary step to their i'm.
provement by breeding.
Insects should be followed up with
the same pertinacity and thoroughness
as weeds Tent caterpillsrs have been
scarce this year, and their destruction
has, in many cases, been neglected.
The kind of foods best adapted to
milk-productions are the best for ma.
nure. One hundred dollars worth of
cheese takes from the farm less than
one-seventh the fertility taken by 500
worth OF grain, while 500 worth of
butter-if the skim milk is fed on the
farm-takes nothing from the soil.

Rlgnold was wiry, red bearded man,

But this kiss of Coghlan's is realis-

was pressed upon the famous Lily, a

who looked through pair of glasses
and over lot of gray chin whiskefs,
just as Horace Greely used to do,
slapped his leg with big ireckled

Everybody laughed almost as much as

just as Cogllan's lips met Langtry's
